Sweetgreen Buffalo Chicken Bowl Copycat Recipe

Sweetgreen Buffalo Chicken Bowl Copycat Recipe

Addie Claire Jones, MS, RD, CSCS, Director of Nutrition at VIDA Fitness

Watch as Addie Claire, the Director of Nutrition at VIDA Fitness, shows us how to make a healthier version of Sweetgreen’s Buffalo Chicken Bowl that is lower in fat and higher in protein. It will save you both time and money, by using MightyMeals meal prep fresh ingredients. It’s the perfect recipe for National Meal Prep Day, June 9th of every year.

PREP/COOK TIME: Under 5 Minutes

SERVINGS: 1

INGREDIENTS

– English Cucumbers,1/2 Cup

– Romaine Lettuce, 1-1/2 Cups

– Cherry Tomatoes, 1/3 Cup

– Shredded Carrots, 1/3 cup

– Blue Cheese Crumbles, 1 oz.

– MightyMeals Bulk Shredded Buffalo Chicken, 4 oz.

– MightyMeals Bulk Brown Rice, ¾ Cup

– Dressing, choose your favorite, just remember to add the macros to the total recipe macros.

Blue Cheese Dressing Hack

I like to use Fairlife Milk (2 tsp) and mix it with my blue cheese dressing (2 tsp) so that it mixes easier and I don’t have to use as much dressing. I’m also able to boost the protein and lower the amount of fat in the dressing this way.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Clean, cut, and dry the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce.
  2. Weigh 4 oz. of Shredded Buffalo Chicken and measure 3/4 cup Brown Rice.

Store all the ingredients in a sealed container in the fridge for when you’re ready to eat it, or enjoy your nutritious bowl right away.

NOTES: You can warm up the brown rice and shredded buffalo chicken before eating, that’s how I like mine. Or, eat it cold. Either way is delicious.
